Dialysis study tracks heart proteins to uncover hidden risks
NCT ID NCT06526702
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how certain heart-related proteins change in the blood of 26 adults with end-stage kidney disease during two types of dialysis. The goal was to understand the patterns of these proteins, which may help doctors better monitor heart health in dialysis patients. No new treatment was tested; instead, researchers observed and compared the effects of standard dialysis methods.
